Reunited & it Feels so Good

Ice...Snow...Freezing winds...All had combined and formed a brisk atmosphere in the Northern region. They all made Odette's skin prickle from the sudden change of warmth she had grown accustomed to the island. Her fur rippled in waves of black, gray, and tan. The said colors complimented each other and she let her ears flatten against her skull, which was slowly losing its heat as she looked up to the wintery scenery in front of her. The steps she was about to take would be the beginning of another chapter in her life. Odette had chosen to visit the place that was mentioned numerously in the tales of Gargoyle and the legendary pack of Glaciem. The Snowfalls was now abandoned...that was what she believed, anyway. The young girl had only been there once before, but the wolf she had met then didn't harbor any information regarding her father that had disappeared. Although it was a waste of breath on that encounter, she had memorized the way the Snowfalls stood so she wouldn't forget. Today, she was going back and hopefully, it hadn't changed. The mini-Gargoyle currently stood at the edge of where the snow and regular grass of Alacritis met and divided. Another reason she was there was because she had heard rumors of a band of rogues living within the confines of the old pack location. It wasn't just the fact that a group of strange wolves was living there...two younger wolves that resembled her and her parents were part of the traveling band. Odette had immediately been interested and the desire to reunite with her siblings burned through her heart without question. After consoling with Chrysanthe, her mother agreed to the journey of finding her long-lost siblings. The yearling assured her russet-faced alphess that she would return when she could and would keep her updated. With a deep intake of breath and a vapory exhale, Odette took the first two steps to cross from the grass to the North. Snow sank beneath her paws as her body weight pushed down upon them. The cold feeling was different, but not unfamiliar as she continued to take one step in front of the other. Before she knew it, the grasslands of the North were gone and snow surrounded her at all angles. Comfort swept across the nervous yearling as she found the unmarked trail that was left open by rows of frosted pines on either side. Scents unfamiliar to her were strong above the cold ground and they stung her nose as she got closer to her destination. She could only hope that her brother and sister were among those rumored to live there. After what felt like forever, Odette finally found a large curve in the trail. She struggled as the path angled up, signifying a slope that had been hidden until she reached it. Gravity tried to fight her, but she prevailed and got over the rise. Shaking all over, she continued to pad through the snow, feeling little bits of the white stuff clinging to the fur around her ankles and feet. It was another comforting feeling that swept over here and she didn't hesitate to embrace it as she saw the Snowfalls eventually come into view. Her head rose to take in the large, statuesque structure and her heart felt like it stopped. Such a majestic piece of snow and ice and her family had once lived here. For a second, Odette wished her and her siblings had been born before the destruction of their empire was taken away. A brisk winter wind slapped her and the trees nearby, causing snow and ice to hit her in the left side of her body and face. She softly gasped, but blinked back the tears that threatened to fall from the sudden sting. Odette hardened and the tears disappeared, her naturally sparkling gaze temporarily hidden. Her paws continued to take her towards the falls and in a minute, she was within viewing sight. A lone and loud howl was given as she stood in the middle of the trail, not afraid of what may happen to her person. With anticipation, she waited. Talk like this |
